Is temperature usually the independent variable?

No. It depends on the context. If you are studying solar gain in a building then the room temperature is a dependent variable. If you are studying the effects of diseases, the body temp is a dependent variable.


What is the independent and dependent variables of a solar cell?

The answer to the question depends on what it is that you are trying to study.


Why does 1.732050808 times 2 equal 3.000000001?

Not according to my Windows 7 (and my basic solar powered calculator) it doesn't !Both of them give the answer 3.464101616 - which is correct !But how can anybody trust a machine to give him an answer that he can't calculatefor himself ?It's true that the first number multiplied by 2 does not equal the second number specified in the question.But the first number to the second power (squared) is the same as the second number in the question.At least as far as my solar powered calculator is concerned.


Is a Dyson sphere practical?

A dyson sphere could never be built. However space based solar power stations could be built with the help of space elevators, space fountains & launch loops. Space based solar power stations will reduce the effect of global warming due to the expansion of the sun into a red giant & also space based solar power stations could help to power laser powered vehicles.


What is the difference between a discrete variable and a continuous variable?

A continuous variable is one that can take any real numerical value. The length of a strip can be anything. A person's height and age can take any real values, within reasonable limits. Whereas, discrete variables will only have values that are whole numbers, like the number of people on a football team, or the number of major planets in the solar system. No star could ever have 5.62 major planets, for example.
